From cakes, to sweet plates, to breakfast burgers to the (in)famous beans on toast, the Teacup Kitchen had me at sweet plates. Add to this a wonderful respect for tea and you have a recipe bound to be successful with locals and tourists. This place was jam-packed and heaving when we arrived and we were lucky to find a table at the window. I love the red furniture, the friendly waitress and of course the HP sauce bottle that makes me smile because it is so unpretentious. I will tell you another thing that is unpretentious: breakfast and brunch served ALL DAY LONG! I love, love, love this concept...as I have nothing against poached eggs and avocado at 4pm, thank you very much!But, for those with a sweet tooth, then look no further: for the traditional try the hearty scone, for the adventurer, try the honeycomb rocky road slice and if you are feeling flamboyant, try the dark chocolate and orange flapjack! All in all, this wonderful café ticks all the right boxes, so when you are in Manchester, head on down and give it your best shot...you can find them at 53 Thomas Street.
